Last night we had the joy of getting to spend time with some lovely people from the local church, and the kids were able to play with other children. Yay! We had lost all service on our phones earlier that afternoon at the campground, but thankfully, Matthew was able to finish up the work day at our new friends’ house. We thought surely it must be temporary and service would return the following day.
Well… this morning Matthew woke me up with the statement, “We have no water. We can’t use the toilet.” 😳 Honestly, somehow I wasn’t shocked, and we used our drinking water to wash hands and do all the things until we could gather the kids up and head out. They moved a little bit faster than usual.
Internet and phone service were still out, and we couldn’t get directions to the nearby city. Thankfully, our car has a navigation system, and that helped us out of the dead zone. So, we were making our way to a local bakery, which somehow I missed as I was driving by. We turned around and pulled into the area the directions had given. The place was empty. Completely empty. There was no sign outside (and I had clearly seen one a few days ago), there wasn’t even any furniture! We looked again for another place just to get a little sustenance, and found a breakfast joint in downtown Fuquay-Varina. Great! As we walked up, a sign on ITS door said they were closed for the day for remodeling. 😂 Thankfully, next door there was a bakery, we were fed, we could get coffee, and we were able to move on with the rest of the day. Yay!! Also, the city has this really awesome interactive touch-screen database of all the different shops and stores in town.
So, Matthew is working from the laundromat. I’m at the library with the kids. It’s been a good day so far, can’t wait to see what’s next! 😆
The water line should be repaired today, and AT&T says the service outage should be resolved soon. Praying that’s the case! If we don’t have water by tonight, we’re gettin’ outta Dodge.
